Practice your tongue-twisting.
Proposal to add Bantu phonetic click characters to the UCS http://www.evertype.com/standards/iso10646/pdf/n2790-clicks.pdf
Why wouldn't U+1D4AC MATHEMATICAL SCRIPT CAPITAL Q work for the script capital Q? At the very least I feel that should be explained.
It was understood that the mathematical symbols were not to be used in language text.
Well this isn't 'language text' as it would be for a modern orthography, but specialized notation. I see no reason to rule out a unification in this case. The general category of
this character is 'Lu', letter upper. It does *not* have a case mapping to /script small q/ but that would be correct as there's not case pair for the proposed character.
If this was the case of a modern orthography, where case pairs would be needed, and where development of font and usage could take place over time in unanticipated directions, then a disunification would make a lot more sense and I would support it. But for this very limited and technical notation, it appears unwarranted.
